✦ Synopsis
A family of bis-[4Ј-Azido-2,2Ј:6Ј,2Љ-terpyridine platinum(II)] complexes with linear linkers of varying length have been synthesized. They have been designed to bis-intercalate into two DNA duplexes in close proximity, the azido groups allowing the sites of intercalation to be photoaffinity labeled. The linker to Pt(II) bonds are susceptible to cleavage by thiols and cyanide ion, which is a requirement for the intended method of analysis by 2D gel electrophoresis.
